Charlotte Medlock
Calm, practical counselling for life changes
About Charlotte
Charlotte Medlock is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She works from a calm, practical stance and aims to help people who are feeling overwhelmed by change, loss, or ongoing stress. She supports clients through anxiety, depression, relationship tension, family conflict and parenting strains.
Charlotte also pays attention to self-esteem, attachment concerns and patterns that leave people feeling stuck. She combines client-centred work with psychodynamic ideas to help people make sense of their experiences.
Background and approach
Client-centred work means sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of her, using listening and reflection to clarify goals. Psychodynamic ideas look at how past relationships and early patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. Charlotte has volunteered weekly at a local hospice since 2017, offering counselling and support to patients and their relatives.
That experience has informed her approach to grief, end-of-life concerns and complex family situations. She brings steady attention to difficult emotions and practical help with coping strategies. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused when needed, or more exploratory when people want to understand recurring patterns.
Charlotte aims to build clear steps clients can try between sessions alongside gentler reflection where helpful. The emphasis is on small, achievable change. People who choose Charlotte often want a warm yet direct style.
She encourages honesty, curiosity and self-compassion. For many clients the work opens pathways to greater confidence, better communication and calmer responses to stress.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client's pace and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs immediate support, clearer goals or practical coping steps.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past relationships influence current feelings and reactions. It can be useful for people wanting to understand why they repeat certain behaviours, struggle with attachment or carry old wounds into present relationships.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the process. Charlotte will discuss options and tailor her mix of listening, practical work and reflection to match the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative effort and the approach can change as the person makes progress.
Online formats offer flexibility and easier access to regular sessions. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions may be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging can work for ongoing prompts and reflections. These options help fit therapy around work, care commitments and busy lives while keeping continuity of support.
